I keep comming across this car...
the Honda beat as it is called, Anyone know anything about this odd looking machine? any info would be cool.







This is the stock gauge cluster? It has an almost 9k redline?

 

wow thats all i have to say

 

Odd Honda??? The exhaust comes out the middle.

 

The cluster looks like it's off a bike.

 

First time I've heard of it. 9k redline

 

I cant remember the last year they made this car... But it was a pretty big deal in motorsport for Japan.. They were popular for quite sometime, I think its more of a cult appeal. Mugen made plenty of parts for this car, and I actually have the Mugen Beat in gt2 or 3 (cant remember which)

 

I've always like them minus the headlights. Wish I knew more about them.

 

looks like a fun car to drive!

 

I have one of the those in GT4. Car sucks *** in the game. But its a 660cc mid engine convertible. more info can be found here http://www.ukhbc.com/

 

http://www.ukhbc.com/

There's some good info in the TECH section there... check it out.

 

660cc engine, 65-ish hp, something like 1800lbs. They're insanely small, smaller than a CRX actually. It's probably too small for a D-Series swap... but a CBR1000 or 1100 engine? Hmm.

And starting this year, you can legally import them in Canada.
